Depression

I recommend getting professional help from a psychiatrist or counsellor.  They can help determine a route out whether it’s medication, counselling or other treatment.  The worst thing about depression is it can rob you of hope, but please try to have hope even if you can’t believe it right now. I am currently seeing a therapist which is helping even though when I first signed up I actually had no faith it would help.  Dealing with cancer is a traumatic thing and can put anyone into a sustained terrible sadness.  Beginning steps can include trying to eat well, take walks and get fresh air, see friends.  All best wishes to you. 

Thankyou juppy I've had a cple breakdowns before and Its nice to hear a positive when you're feeling low. I'm going to ask my doctor to refer me thankyou for the kind words. All the best for your future take care

Hi Shelly. I just wanted you to know that you’re not on your own

I am not sure where you are on your cancer journey but the ups and downs of that road are so stressful. 
Covid has caused the procedures , diagnosis and treatment even more of an  anxious time.
